Semiclassical gravitational effects near a singular magnetic flux
We consider the backreaction of the vacuum polarization effect for a massive
charged scalar field in the presence of a singular magnetic massless string on
the background metric. Using semiclassical approach, we find the first-order
(in units) metric modifications and the corresponding gravitational
potential and deficit angle. It is shown that, in certain region of values of
coupling constant and magnetic flux, the gravitational potential and deficit
angle can be positive as well as negative over all distances from the string
and can even change its sign. Unlike the case of massless scalar field, the
gravitational corrections were found to have short-range behavior.Comment: 14 pages, 4 figures, journal versio
Induced vacuum energy-momentum tensor in the background of a d-2 - brane in d+1 - dimensional space-time
Charged scalar field is quantized in the background of a static d-2 - brane
which is a core of the magnetic flux lines in flat d+1 - dimensional
space-time. We find that vector potential of the magnetic core induces the
energy-momentum tensor in the vacuum. The tensor components are periodic
functions of the brane flux and holomorphic functions of space dimension. The
dependence on the distance from the brane and on the coupling to the space-time
curvature scalar is comprehensively analysed.Comment: 32 pages, 3 figures, journal version, some references adde
Fractional electric charge of a magnetic vortex at nonzero temperature
An ideal gas of twodimensional Dirac fermions in the background of a
pointlike magnetic vortex with arbitrary flux is considered. We find that this
system acquires fractional electric charge at finite temperatures and determine
the functional dependence of the thermal average and quadratic fluctuation of
the charge on the temperature, the vortex flux, and the continuous parameter of
the boundary condition at the location of the vortex.Comment: 25 pages, 5 figures, journal version, minor changes, Eqs.(3.2)-(3.5)

Some constraints on the Yukawa parameters in the neutrino modification of the Standard Model (nuMSM) and CP-violation
The equations connecting elements of the Yukawa matrix to elements of the
active neutrino mass matrix in the \nu MSM theory (an extension of the Standard
Model by a singlet of three right-handed neutrinos) was analyzed, and explicit
relations for the ratio of the Yukawa matrix elements through elements of the
active neutrino mass matrix were obtained. This relation can be used for
getting more accurate constraints on the model parameters. Particularly, with
the help of the obtained results we investigated CP-violating phase in the \nu
MSM theory. We demonstrate that even in the case when elements of the active
neutrino mass matrix are real the baryon asymmetry can be generated also.Comment: 14 pages, 2 figures, many clarifications and references adde
